When I was studying to receive my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine at the University of Bridgeport, diet and nutrition were a large part of our curriculum.

We studied the biochemistry of many different foods and diets, and looked at their efficacy for optimal health, prevention of disease and weight loss. During my clinical rotations, I implemented many of these diets into patients’ treatment plans, but there was one diet that I saw consistently change people’s lives: The Blood Type Diet.

Now, this does not mean that eating the wrong food could cause an immediate deadly reaction, but eating foods with the wrong lectins over a life time can increase your risk for different diseases, cause premature aging and simply make you feel bad!

Good article. The above is what I think most people don't grasp, that a little effect streched over a lond enough time turns into big effects. I kind of like to think of lecins as 'anti-nutrients'.
